Buyer’s Guide: 6 Questions to Ask when Evaluating MSSP’s EDR Services
Endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions give security professionals visibility into the cybersecurity posture of their company’s endpoints such as laptops, desktops, mobile phones, Internet of Things (IoT) devices and more. However, EDR solutions often produce a huge volume of alerts, including false positives, which can result in alert fatigue. And with the ongoing struggle of the cybersecurity talent shortage, many organizations lack experienced security professionals to monitor and manage their EDR solutions.
Engaging a knowledgeable third-party, such as a managed security services provider (MSSP), can take the pressure off your IT team. Additionally, an MSSP has the technology in place to identify and respond to threats efficiently and quickly.
However, with hundreds of MSSPs to choose from, how do you know which one is a good fit for your organization? Not all MSSPs are the same, so it’s important to be thorough when you’re evaluating potential providers.
